"Many of us will have to use our computers even when it's summer. Getting sweaty and frustrated, but you have to get the work done or that last level played. Why not cool your mousing hand down with something as unique as BreezePad. DIY all the way baby!"

The second myth is that wrist rests are good for you, which they are not, under any circumstances. By resting your wrist on a pad, you are forcefully reducing bloodflow, and asking for trouble. Your wrists shouldn't lay on ANYTHING.

And Bill Gates is going to send me $25 if I forward this email, too. Uh huh.

In order to do some renovation, I had to clear everything out of a room, so my gaming computer is sitting in a basement room (right next to kitty litter and the washing machine) where it can be rather cold (minnesota here). The first time I went for a gaming session, I had a desklamp on the table and turned it on. As I felt its warmth an idea popped into my head and now whenever I am using that computer for something, I position the lamp right over my hand.
a 60watt bulb a couple of inches above your had does a wonderful job of keeping them from getting cold and stiff and provides just enough light to see your keyboard and the rest of your desk. I only wish that I had it for my left hand as the keyboard fingers need much more agility (since the mouse is mostly hand and arm) but the light makes too much glare there
